Absolutely. The Dalton ones are probably the closest to NTTD in terms of Bond in front of dominant colour and a contrasting colour for the title making it more prominent.
But damn, Dalton really sells that look in both. Do not mess with that guy.
This is really unnecessarily antagonistic. You don't have to post like this.
Ha! Great spot on the font! :)
There's not much wrong with that LTK one, is there? Great shot, really nicely cropped. LTK gets flak for bad publicity all the time but that's a cracker. I loved those Brosnans at the time too and they still look good, if slightly dated, but that's just the way it goes. The photography is at least top notch.
Indeed! They made good use of Dalton's stare in these (have a Bond ever looked as intense?). I actually think they could've got away with just displaying Dalton'd face + the title!
Agree. The LTK one doesn't need anything more, IMO. This other one on the other hand; Dalton looks ten years older here!
The Brosnan ones (at least some of them) do look slightly dated now. For me I think it's partly because of the fonts (and the way they're displayed), some of the effects used, and the fact that I personally find anything 90's to date badly. They're still cool though!
They do look dated, but I don't think that's a bad thing. Tastes move on.
The NTTD poster is still bugging me though. I've tried playing with the composition; I'm sure there's a way to fix it but I don't know if I've found it yet! I love the typography though so I wonder if making it even bigger is bad.
I tried ;)
Yes, tastes indeed changes. It does make it interesting to look back at these posters though, and how they very much were a product of their time.
Interesting. I have no issue with the way the original poster is cropped (unless they've deliberately cut out anything that would've made the poster better!), but as you see with the translated titles – there's a case for making the title slightly smaller, IMO. Then again, they did go big with the title reveal, having Craig walking alongside some very large letters. With that in mind, the large title logo on the poster kind of makes sense.
This is Bond, armed, dangerous and dressed to kill
That TWINE poster is pretty timeless if you ask me. A cracking teaser poster with a clever, eye catching design. Remember seeing it fondly outside the local cinema for the first time.
If there going to option to buy the teaserposter (what not going to happen i think), as always prefer no release date but mabey this time not even comingsoon. Mabey only studio logo's as above or cast/crew credits.
Not quite. This is Bond yes. But it's the Bond from 13 years ago. The Bond that started as a rough, blunt assassin. The Bond that was not really the Bond we all have in our minds now. It was the rebooted Bond. As shown in CR and QOS.
With all due respect @talos7, but it's 2019 now. The Bond witnessed at the end of SF and during SP was still pretty violent, but it was also the more experienced, charming, slightly more funny, grown-up Bond. The Bond that presented 'M' in the London Hildebrand safe house with the facts. The Bond that called 'M' Sir. The Bond that was more friendlier towards women. The Bond in which we saw a shimmer of respect for authority.
Hence I still go 200% for the official NTTD tease poster, and not mock-ups that we saw before some 13 years ago and that fully ignore how our wonderful Daniel Craig is the only Bond-actor who showed serious, realistic, human character development throughout his reign. A real person so to say, whose changes in behaviour and traits were executed through interesting, not always perfect, writing and tremendous acting. Hence I love the official teaser poster of an aged Bond, with no photoshopped details, and in full tuxedo. And I do not like that fan art that shows the Bond that's already gone.
A pose similar to this with a current Craig would be pretty great.
Well we see this differently. Yes Bond is older and has been through a great deal, but he is still Bond and should look confident, determined and dangerous; the expression on Daniel’s face in this poster is none of those things; he looks unsure, trepidatious and lacking the look of someone licensed to kill.
You're pigeonholing the franchise a little bit there... Unsure? Trepidatious? Lacking the look of someone licenced to kill? For all we know, that's the point, and feeds directly into the theme of NTTD.
Even if that turns out to be true, a good poster it does not make.
All of that may be true, but this poster is announcing the return of an iconic character. It deserves an iconic image that conveys not only the core of the characters makeup but the fantasy that he represents, women want to be with him, men want to be him...... and it’s not because of his emotional angst.
A-freaking-men! Post of the week.
Ok, 7 year old then.
It's a pity you don't like the teaser (I don't either), but comments like "…as opposed to a 6 year old learning how to use Microsoft Paint for the very first time." is just silly.
I'll refer to @AgentM72 's post on the production thread; it's worth a read:
I think that’s better!
I've seen that typography somewhere before! :))
Not really; some of us are just interested in design. It's okay if you're not.
Indeed.
